Getting a place
How children get a place in Windsor
French-language schools
Section 23 rights-holders, francophone parents or those schooled in French in Canada, have a place; others apply to the board’s committee.
Catholic schools
A Catholic elementary school usually asks for a Catholic parent or a baptized child; a Catholic high school admits all.
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives settles it: the board’s map ties every address to one school, and a seat anywhere else waits on spare room.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Windsor and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Bands, not ranks. A school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- Boards and systems. Boards come in one language each, and where the province funds Catholic schools, as public or Catholic; independent schools stand outside them.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2024-25.
